Choosing the right outdoor materials is essential due to our hot, dry summers and mild winters. Here’s a couple of the benefits of choosing textured concrete:
- It’s Low Maintenance: Thinking about a wooden deck? Unlike wood, which requires regular staining and sealing, imprinted concrete requires minimal maintenance thanks to our desert climate. A quick rinse is all it takes to keep your textured concrete patio looking its best.
- It’s Durable: Our high-quality decorative concrete is built to survive the harsh sun and occasional freezing temperatures for which our city is known. Unlike traditional concrete, patterned concrete is less prone to cracking. This will make sure that your investment lasts for years to come.
- It’s Affordable: It offers an attractive and cost-effective solution when compared to other popular patio materials like natural stone or pavers.
- It Increases Home Value: Studies by the National Association of Realtors show that homes with attractive outdoor spaces can sell for 5-10% more, on average. This makes a textured concrete patio or driveway a valuable investment for your home with a good ROI.
- It Complements Local Architecture: Its versatility makes possible designs that complement ABQ's architectural styles. Think Pueblo Revival with its earthy tones and geometric patterns, or Territorial with its clean lines and classic colors.
- It’s Non-Slip: Safety is important - especially around pools. Textured surface provides excellent slip resistance, making it ideal for pool decks and patios where water may be present.

Luckily, it requires only minimal maintenance. Regular sweeping to remove debris and occasional power washing to remove dirt buildup are typically sufficient. We recommend resealing it every 3-5 years to maintain its beauty and protect the surface.
Absolutely! Textured concrete driveways are highly durable and can endure the weight of vehicles. The textured surface provides excellent traction, even during ABQ's occasional winter months.
It can be slippery when wet, but not necessarily more so than regular concrete. The key is texture - the stamping process itself creates grooves that improve grip. Sealants also play a role, with some offering better slip resistance.
It can but it isn't inherently more likely to crack than plain concrete. Our installers use control joints to direct cracking to unnoticeable areas. The high-quality material itself is built for durability. Hairline cracks might appear over time, but they're less noticeable and don't usually affect the structure.
